2
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Meridian Road -Right-of-Way and Sidewalk
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
Typically, the District requires all arterial roadways to accommodate for 5-traffic lanes. As a part of
the North Meridian Traffic Study, Meridian Road was identified as being a future 3-lane minor arterial.
Meridian Road is not listed as a proposed project in the District's currently adopted Five-Year Work
Program or in the currently adopted 20-year Capital Improvements Plan. As such, the applicant
cannot receive reimbursement for dedicated right-of-way from available collected impact fees. The
applicant shall do one of the following:
a. Dedicate by donation a total of 35-feet of right-of-way along Meridian Road, and construct a
minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Meridian Road, located a minimum of 28-feet
from the centerline of the right-of-way.
b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete
sidewalk along Meridian Road, located a minimum of 28-feet from the centerline of the right-
of-way, in an easement provided to the District.
c. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete
sidewalk along Meridian Road, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way.
Accomplish all necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and
utilities.
2. Roadway Offsets
Local Streets Intersecting Meridian Road
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant is proposing to construct Rio Vista Drive to intersect Meridian Road approximately 55-
feet south of the north property line. Although this location meets District policy in regard to location,
it does not serve the area well in terms of access to Meridian Road. Currently, there is a large portion
of the church site to the north that is undeveloped. If the applicant to this parcel were to construct Rio
Vista Drive in the location that is proposed, the church would not be able to construct a public
roadway to access Meridian Road that would meet the minimum roadway offsets that are required by.
District policy. Staff recommends that the applicant shift Rio Vista Drive to the north property line.
The applicant should construct Rio Vista Drive at the north property line for approximately 150-feet.
By constructing Rio Vista Drive at the north property line, multiple parcels may utilize the public right-
of-way to access Meridian Road. This will eliminate multiple access points to the arterial
transportation system and will provide additional connectivity within the area.
Internal Streets
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
All of the internal roadways meet or exceed the minimum offsets that are required by District policy.
3. Street Sections
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1-acre in size will
typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and sidewalks.
The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of this width may
3
be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete
sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5-feet or
more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
District policy 7204.4,3 states, "a developer may construct a local urban residential street with a
reduced width of 29-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb with curb, gutter and sidewalk. Although
some parking is allowed, the District will further restrict parking on a reduced width street if curves or
other physical feature causes problems, if actual emergency response experience indicates that
emergency vehicles may not be able to provide service, or if other safety concerns arise. The right-
of-way width of a 29-foot street section will be in accordance with Section 7204.4.1.
Parking is allowed on one side of a reduced width street when the following criteria are met:
• Traffic volumes on the street are not forecast to exceed 1,000 vehicle trips per day.
• There must be no possibility that the street will be extended in the near future, or that another
street may be connected to it in a manner that would allow more than 1,000 vehicle trips per
day.
• The developer is required to install "no parking signs" on one side of the street, as specified by
the District."
• Vertical curbs with attached 5-foot minimum wide sidewalks or rolled curbs with 4-foot
minimum wide detached sidewalks and a 5-foot minimum wide planter strips are required.
The applicant is proposing to construct some alternative street sections within the subdivision.
The applicant is proposing to construct Rio Vista Drive (from meridian Road to Rio Parlmara Street)
as a 36-foot street section with curb, gutter and a 6-foot wide planter strip and a 4-foot wide detached
concrete sidewalk within 60-feet of right-of-way. Although this street section is not specifically
approved by District policy, this street section includes each of the standard components that are
required by District policy and should be approved with this application.
The applicant is proposing to construct Rio Patmara Street (from Meridian Road to Rio Vista Drive) as
a 36-foot street section with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of
right-of-way. This street section meets District policy and should be approved with this application.
The applicant is proposing to construct Rio Palmara Street (from Rio Vista Drive to Rio Lomas
Street), Rio Lomas Street,. Rio Colinas Street and Rio Sierra Avenue as a 32-foot street section with
rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way. Although this
street section is not specifically approved by District policy, this street section includes each of the
components that are required for a reduced street section and should be approved with this
application. The District requires that the applicant submit documentation showing the review and the
approval of the reduced street section from the appropriate Fire Department. The District also
restricts parking on one side of the roadway.
4. Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development shall cause no undue
hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to adjoining property for use in
future development may be required. If a street ends at the development boundary, it shall meet the
requirements of sub section 7205, "non-continuous streets.."
District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra-neighborhood circulation
or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements
described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if
the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the
stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". In addition, a stub
street must meet the following conditions:
1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the street intersection and drain surface
water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain system is installed.
4
2. The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street (Rio Vista Drive) to the south property line
approximately 510-feet east of the west property line. The proposed stub street will provide a
vehicular connection to 18.17-acre parcel that is located directly to the south. Staff is supportive of
the applicant's proposal to construct a stub street in this location. Due to the fact that the proposed
stub street is less than 150-feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to provide a temporary turn
around at the terminus of the roadway. The applicant will be required to install a sign at the terminus
of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is not proposing to construct a stub street to the east property line. Staff is
recommending that the applicant extend Rio Colinas Street to the east property line. This stub street
would provide the 10.060-acre site to the east with a stub street and will provide additional
connectivity within this square mile. Due to the fact that the proposed stub street is less than 150-feet
in depth, the applicant will not be required to provide a temporary turn around at the terminus of the
roadway. The applicant will be required to install a sign at the terminus of the stub street stating that,
"THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
Staff believes that if the applicant shifts Rio Vista Drive to the north property line for a minimum of
150-feet, the property to the north will have aquasi-stub street that may be utilized in the future when
the remainder of the church parcel is redeveloped.
5. Knuckles
District policy District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 and the local Fire District standards require an island
within a knuckle to be constructed with the island being a minimum of 4-feet wide with a minimum
area of 100-square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The roadway around the traffic island
should maintain a minimum of a 29-foot street section. The design should be reviewed and approved
by ACHD's Development staff.
The applicant is proposing to construct three knuckles with islands located within them. District staff
is supportive of the location of the knuckles. The applicant should construct the islands to be a
minimum of 4-feet wide with a minimum area of 100-square feet and designed to safely channel
traffic. The applicant should also maintain a 29-foot street section on either side of the island within
the knuckles. Any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by
this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be
required on the final plat.
6. Islands/Medians
District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 require islands to be constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide with a
minimum area of 100-square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The roadway on either side
of the traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 21-foot street section. District policy also requires
any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should
be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the
final plat. The design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's Development staff.
The applicant is proposing to construct an island within Rio Vista Drive at the main entrance. The
applicant should construct the island to be a minimum of 4-feet wide with a minimum area of 100-
square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The applicant should also maintain a 21-foot
street section on either side of the island. Any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public
right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association.
Notes of this should be required on the final plat.
5
7. Other Access
Meridian Road is classified as a minor arterial. Other than the two public roadways that have
specifically been approved with this application, direct lot access to Meridian Road is prohibited. A
note should be placed on the plat stating the access restriction to Meridian Road.
C. Special Note to the City of Meridian
The applicant is proposing to construct reduced street sections within the subdivision. With
the reduced street section, the District restricts parking on one side of the roadway. With
each of the narrow lots located on the south property line and the east property line having a
20-foot wide driveway, on street parking will be v~r r limited within the subdivision.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
The applicant shall do one of the following:
